Clickbait is a part of it, sure. But there are also many other content types that I wouldn’t characterize that way: 3+ hour long video podcasts, ambient music channels, niche indie musicians, short entertaining videos like Mr. Beast, etc. YouTube is increasingly a huge tent that includes tons of different kinds of content.

My point was more that YouTube is increasingly designed for a world in which people have their devices everywhere and jump in and out of watching videos.

Netflix isn’t, because it is still using the “old” model of sitting down for 30-200 minutes to watch a movie.

I’m not saying that the film model is bad or somehow worth getting rid of - I love films myself - just that it’s probably not the future of video content for most people.

> we need to be serious about our adversary that keeps threatening to nuke major European cities off the map

Europe clings to the hope that the rules-based international order that—at this point—everyone is abandoning, can be resuscitated through hopes and prayers. It can’t. We’re back to realpolitik.

Russian boats should be subject to boarding and searching when passing by Finnish and adjacent waters; for precedent, they can cite China claiming its sovereign waters include vastly adjacent waters to its own.

Russia flirted with Turkish airspace in 2015; Ankara shot it down [1]. Zero further provocations. You can’t appease a bully by lying prostrate. Even if the bully has big guns at home. We aren’t risking nuclear war by drawing clear lines, we’re inviting it by clumsily blurring them.

Interesting how “interviewed” and “publicly fellated” can be so easily confused.
A PPI is preferable to Barret's esophagus secondary to chronic gastric reflux, and certainly sounds reasonable in your case.

There are others who start using omeprazole OTC without understanding the difference between it and Pepcid. Omeprazole (and its enantiomer esomeprazol) can cause rebound heart burn with discontinuation, are not meant to be used "as needed" compared to antacids / H2 drugs due to their slower method of action, nor do we fully understand the long-term risks of PPIs. There have been observational studies which, while not able to show a clear cause and effect, have found evidence of higher risk of fractures among those on PPIs long-term.
Thanks, on an actual computer it's easy to check :)

Ideally, Rust would start adopting excellent features like Ada's SPARK, and vice-versa Ada get inspired by Rust's good parts as well.
it's close to the center of the city. the only properties were large buildings with multiple apartments. so no. it would not only not have been better, it would simply not have been possible without moving out of the city, if it was possible at all.

which i think it wasn't because in the 19th and early 20th century all property was owned by aristocratic families. and you either had property to begin with or you never could get any unless someone with property gave some of theirs to you for some reason. then came the world wars and by the time buying property became possible it probably wasn't affordable by many.

i also seem to remember that rent was very low for a long time. though it raised quite a bit in recent decades.
I disagree for the same reason -- how quickly the language can be picked up and used productively.
Due to Lua's small footprint, a novice user can skim through the Lua docs and walk away with a useful mental model for most of the language.

This is not the case for Javascript, which has far more syntax and many duplicated subtly-different features (var/let, class/plain objects, this definition depending on lambda syntax). Not something easily grasped by a new user.

And sure, there are many Javascript snippets floating around and its possible to pick up some subset of Javascript by osmosis. However, this approach leads to a "poke it with a stick until it works, while understanding nothing and slowly going mad" UX from what I've seen. Which is not something I would aim for in the kind of productivity tools embedded scripting languages are used in.-- I find these tools are far more satisfying and productive to use when you have a simple mental model which clicks in place after a bit of effort up front, letting you work after without having to consult docs for every step.

(Of course this is not an issue if you're targetting only developers proficient with Javascript as users, but this is not the case for most applications outside of the webdev space.)
This is the most powerful observable unified database foundation I have ever seen.

As soon as the local banks here started the push of 'you'll be locked out of your account if you dont activate our App' I switched to a dumb-phone. Tech has turned against us, and as a developer I feel very sad about that.

I strongly believe that a smart-phone should not be a requirement to partake in society.

Something as basic and important as a passport should not be entrusted to these ad-phones. Same with the push for smart-phone fintech / digital currency, or card-only retail. The 'easy option' seems to cost us more and more freedoms.

'This app requires permission to access your passport details. This is only to confirm your date of birth, and thus your eligibility to access the ad infested internet'

Having ranted about all that, I have to say that requesting a new UK passport last month was The best website experience I have had in a very long time. Simple UI, clear process, and worked perfectly without needing the latest nightly build of whatever new browser API / GB framework is the monthly fad. Just a shame it is quite ugly compared to the previous European one.
I'll re-sign up to that shithole when hell freezes over. You're welcome.
Thank you for taking a look.

This is still a major work in progress. The question has been asked many times on other communities and I agree that there should be a section on the README (maybe at the very top) comparing this with other loggers (e.g. how transports work in Caran vs Pino, benchmarks, etc).

It's something I have considered but I've been fleshing out transports asap.

All the best!
My wife chooses the Netflix ones unfortunately. What ones are good?
Reflexive cowering, particularly when broadcast ex ante, is a predictably losing strategy.

This.

Netflix does have good productions. But they are often surrounded by the sea of mediocracy.

Show HN: A financial analysis and research tool powered by agents
Hey HN!

I've always been fascinated by financial markets. This month, I decided to build a tool to help with the research of stocks and cryptocurrencies. I'm using YFinance as a data source because it's free and provides a wide range of reliable market data. For sentiment analysis, I'm leveraging Google Trends to gauge public interest and sentiment over time.

The tool, named Zenith, is a command-line utility with four main features:

Market Analysis: Provides insights like moving averages, RSI, and volatility for selected stocks or cryptocurrencies.
Sentiment Analysis: Uses Google Trends to visualize sentiment for specific keywords.
Quantitative Strategies: Implements trading strategies such as momentum, mean reversion, and pairs trading.
Portfolio Management: Analyzes and visualizes portfolio performance and correlations.
The goal is to make research accessible, even for those new to financial analysis, while still being powerful enough for experienced users.

It's still a work in progress, and I’d love feedback or suggestions on features you'd find helpful. I'm also considering integrating LLMs to summarize key data points or assist in generating more detailed analyses.

The project is open-source, and you can find it here: [https://github.com/chisasaw/zenith]. Contributions or stars are welcome!

What tools or workflows do you use for financial research? Would you find something like this useful? Let me know your thoughts!
Historically US policy towards the USSR up until 1983 was escalation as a means of showing dominance. And it put the world on the brink of nuclear apocalypse that indeed would likely have happened if not for a single man. [1] But in 1983 we ran one of the most elaborate wargames ever played - Proud Prophet. [2] In that wargame a large number of strategies to defeat the USSR were trialed - limited nuclear strikes (or demonstrative strikes), decapitation strikes, and so on.

And literally every single outcome led to the defacto end of the world, or at least the Northern Hemisphere. Following the outcome of those wargames we shifted to a policy of de-escalation and negotiation - by 1991 the Soviet Union would collapse, their leaders hand in hand with American leaders. At one point Russia was even interested in joining NATO. We could be living in a very different timeline had we chosen to maintain positive ties with mutual respect of interests.

This isn't really a meaningful prediction unless you define clearly your idea of what being "as intelligent as a precocious child" is, and how you would assess an LLM or any other system against that metric. Though I suppose you avoid the risk of having to move the goalposts later if you never set them up in the first place.
You should try out drawabox.com. I think some people like it and some don't. Even I stopped following the tutorials from that website, but it actually has taught me important fundamentals to get started drawing, like something as simple as how to hold a pen, about perspective, how to draw a box or other shapes, etc. Also, don't stick to one tutorial, so you don't stuck in yet another tutorial hell haha. I think art is subjective enough that you can disagree on tutorials you follow.

Also, this is a good practice about learning things in general: _take a break_. Don't draw continuously. I find that taking a break and purposely "forget" how to draw very helpful on learning, specifically learning to draw.
I tried it on one of my repos and was somewhat impressed. I'd like to be able to drill down into subsystems though. This sort of tool could help to learn about codebases faster.
You're trying to send money internationally. It sounds like your bank doesn't want you to send money internationally. This is your problem with your bank.

I don't see why you'd need Wise for a one-off payment. Just go to the international transfer page at your bank and enter the details? Do they not have one?
I apologize in that case, can you give a brief summary of what is the most important point of that pdf?, I don't know why but my gut feeling is to refuse to read something just based on people reputation. I know that Tao is a very bright mathematician but I also think that he doesn't know much about computer science or computer languages (my evidence is very slim here: once I noted that Tao was very happy with a very simple program, a trivial one, so I inferred from that he still has to learn a lot about programming). For now, it seems clear that the best he can do (for him and us) is to devote his time to math that is his best skill. But it could happen that he could use his best world IQ and math skills to learn how to use LLMs and Lean in a never seem before way to obtain something really valuable.

Today I don't think there is any evidence that such thing is going to happen. On one hand, in general, intelligent people are the first to learn how to use new tools in new or better ways, tools that are useful for what they are good at and are devote at. On the other hand, following that path detracts energy from the core of math that requires intuition and creativity and not so much mechanical proofs. On a third hand, there is always the money question that we can not see, that is because is in the third hand.
I'm pretty sure the military industrial complex has had those leaders replaced with ones of the "let's hit them, they're bluffing" variety. The fact they're even testing the limits they've already broken through seems like a case study in strategic incompetence. AFAIK there is literally nothing in this for the US apart from an opportunity to set China up for greater success. Which, while a noble move, is probably not intentional.
Russia has many of these types of boats. They are inexpensive. The "equipment" is portable in suitcases. There is a lot of marine traffic in the Baltic Sea. They may have thought they could do it during the holidays and move the equipment to another ship nearby without detection. Or, a Russian port is very close, perhaps they thought they could take off and make it to Russian waters before Finland intercepted them. Check out the route on marinetraffic.com. The cable is between Helsinki and Tallinn, St. Petersburg Russia (the "destination") is about 200 km away to the east.

I don’t remember the program but in the years of broadcast TV there was a writer on a nightly talk show explaining why all TV episodes were so bland. He said that he wrote an intricate plot for TV which was rejected because the show had to be watchable by someone doing this dishes. So this isn’t a phenomenon new to the Netflix era.
Articles 51 and 54, Protocol I, Geneva conventions:

..outlaw indiscriminate attacks on civilian populations, and destruction of food sources, water, and other materials needed for survival. This include directly attacking civilian (non-military) targets, but also using technologies whose scope of destruction cannot be limited. A total war that does not distinguish between civilian and military targets is considered a war crime.

It is pretty clear that you cannot control not only who receives a pager, but also who is near a person with a pager.

There are multiple clips circulating where the pager bombs went off in public, and multiple stories about the pager bombs going off inside peoples houses.

Imagine being at a grocery store and a bomb goes off next to you. You couldn't have escaped the warzone because you are trapped. Imagine if this has happened to IDF fighters, how it would be portrayed. This is clearly terrorism.
Try doing chores for multiple people, hours a day, years on end, first. I’m guessing you haven’t done that, or you wouldn’t suggest that people who like having a little entertainment while doing chores have a form of ADHD.
What's with the beef? In the paper Terence describes how he currently uses some imperfect but useful tools, which will surely change in the future if better tools appear. It does not say "LLM will be smarter than a kid bwahaha world domination".
> That’s the sign of a great abstraction. It allows us to operate as if the underlying complexity simply doesn't exist.

While I generally agree with the sentiment that current day software development is too indirection heavy, I'm not sure I agree with that point. All abstractions are leaky and sure good abstractions allow you to treat it like a black box, but at some point you'd benefit from knowing how the sauce is made, and in others you'll be stuck with some intractable problem if you lack knowledge of the underlying layers.
There seems to be Russian ships accidentally sinking as well, these days.
Sure, have a Pepsi. It is delicious!

At this stage Tao should disclose whether he has any financial relationship with OpenAI, including stock ownership or even access to experimental models or more computational power than the average user.

I've never seen any academic hyping up a company like that, unless they explicitly have/had a financial relationship like Scott Aaronson.
Reading the thread it looks like the issue is leakage power on the internal 3.3v line. When the system is off 1.9v is still present. This is not uncommon, although 1.9v is a bit high. A lot of laptops have explicit active pull downs on power supplies to clamp them to zero when power is off to ensure peripherals are not accidentally powered on by stray leakage (because laptops are extremely low power by design and there is not enough stray leakage to bring the power lines down in a sleep state). My guess is main boards might not have this feature because normally there is enough off state loading that it takes care of itself. however maybe in this case the loading is not enough.

A dirty fix could be to just put a static load on the 3.3v line to ground. I'd start with a 1/4w resistor around 100 ohms and just stick it from 3.3v to ground to see if that does not soak up the stray current. if it works just leave it, it's about 0.1 watts of static power and no big deal for a non portable setup.

The larger picture is that the controller on the nvme might not hit its power on reset condition because it may be rated to run at 1.8v (just a guess), so 3.3v is not going low enough for the controller to perceive the system has been power cycled. Usually a supplemental power monitor is needed in those cases to ensure a reset is generated in case of leakage problems like this.
I actually have to fight this feature a lot, but I appreciate what it's trying to do. For me the issue is I'm often trying to triple click to select full IRC lines and it keeps only selecting parts of the line because the person had put some quotes in part of what they said, and the selection "smartly" will only select the area between two quotes, even if those quotes were the ending of a pair on the left and start of a pair on the right, aka not even truly quoted text is being selected, but all the un-quoted text between two pairs of quoted text. The solution is to click a different spot, usually the timestamp is the safest, but I find I naturally drift toward the far right side of the terminal for selecting lines, or sometimes somewhere in the middle.
Yeah, it was a good book. I got an extremely heavy dose of nostalgia from its description of the late-90s Voodoo2/Riva128 era.

It was such a fast-moving era, too. Check this out: https://www.anandtech.com/show/178/2

A card released in September 1997 is described as "an aging and slowly dying chipset." I suppose it parallels AI today, where a model released a year ago is already obsolete on the high end...
> I mean, how do people even decide whether a movie might be for them without having first inspected a good portion of it?

You can read review of journalists you usually agree with, ask for advice from your friends, check if you liked other movies from the same filmmaker, check if the movie has been displayed in your favorite movie theater or in the movie theater you dislike (but okay, won't work for netflix movies).
Another criticism would be the time spent to compile those abstractions, even if in fine the "zero cost" goal _at runtime_ is reached.
I just wish they wouldn‘t so disproportionally often drift off into extreme sillyness (That, I can take.) or extreme brutality and gore (That, I find revolting. When did showing so much splatter on a regular basis start being considered good film making outside of the occasional Tarantino?).

The original statement was in the context of IP. In this case, no one has anything taken away when it is shared. Sharing physical goods requires them to be taken from somewhere/someone... not so much for digital information, which can be duplicated infinitely.
I find this comment to be completely shortsighted.

We now have western societies with a growing population of homeless people, that despite having access to tons of resources at their disposal, still can't get their shit together. A great majority are doing drugs and smoking/abusing alcohol.

And it's enough to have 20 crackheads to destroy a neighborhood of 10000 hard-working, peaceful people.
> I mean, how do people even decide whether a movie might be for them without having first inspected a good portion of it?

You’re describing watching the movie. Which is what most people do. If the movie is terrible then you just stop watching it, or if you finish it you can then decide if you liked it or not.

Have you been coughing? Any new life changes since onset of symptoms, like a new pet / house / job?

Most common causes of chronic sore throat are allergies or a chronic cough. Also consider environmental irritants, smoking, or dry mouth (like from snoring). I'd also think LPR ("silent GERD") but sounds like they ruled that out. I assume they examined you for bacterial injection like strep.
